GD3 chromed/amber bulb swap

I never did like the ugly orange globe reflections of my turn sigs or my parking/city lights...to much of a contrast with the color of my ryde. So I swap'd them out and now my headlamps appear much crisper...
The bulbs are chrome when off but when you turn them on they are vibrant amber

After install with lights off...

i did this to my GE front and rear and it makes a huge difference in how the car looks. i used autolumination.com. big selection of bulbs. i think the chrome blinks are like $4 each or something
